Adorned Hen that Weighs 23O
Pounds.
Oil CIu Blizzard.

Walter Lewellin, Of Durham, n.
c., has the greatest curiosity Of the
county in the shape of a Dominique
hen, which possesses on each side of
the head a horn. curled up like q
rams. A few days ago the hen,
which weighs 230 pounds, attacked a
valuable horse and gored it so ter.
ribly that the animal had to be killed.
It has also caused the death of a
number Of calves and pigs in the
same manner. 1t laughs very nat
urally and merrily when it gets 8 pig
into a tight place and commences to
maui it. but is kind to children and
delights in trotting them off to school
on it's back. This information we
get principally from a Philadelphia
paper. which makes mention Of the
hen and her horns. We have taken
the liberty, however, to interpolate a
statement or two, which the paper
either accidentally overlooked or tor
some other reason neglected to men
ton. In referring to such matters it
is always best tn let the residing pub
lie have the whole truth, and not
simply brief and garbled statement.

We Olden Times.
From tie HartueU Sun.

On residing an item in your Shoal
Cheek correspondence, about wagon
ing cotton from Pendleton, S. c., to
Charleston. I remember H. n. Bish.
op we'll. We called him Uncle
Mickey" He, D. X. Hamilton,
William Walker, and others, hauled
cotton to Charleston and goods back
at $3.50 per hundred each way and
sometimes my father paid $500 per
hundred on goods. There were no
railroads in those days, and no
banks except in large cities. Mer-
chants had to haul their money, and
rode on horseback TO Charleston. On
one occasion my father had a large
amount Of silver coin. He took a
stout barrel, put some beeswax in,
then poured the silver in, then
melted wax and poured into the bar
rel to keep it from jingling. When
be got to Charleston he had to melt
the wax off the coin. The wagner
said be thought it was the heaviest
barrel of wax be ever saw.
People we're happy in those days;
had plenty to eat, made at home;
wore nomespun clothes; and many a
healthy, beautiful girl spun and wove
her wedding dress. Every farmer
had his tanvst, his own leather, and
had the boys hats made from his
own sheep; the hats would last ten
years or longer, If the boys heads
did not get too big for them, and the
hats were about as heavy as cast
IRON pot. Such a hat would now
break dudes neck to wear it. The
girls rode horseback to church, and
churches were not 80 plentiful as
now. Eight to ten miles was thought
convenient. People had religion in
mllder form then than now, but it
stuck to them longer.
In 1912, Jesse Cleveland and my
father did business in Spartanburg,
S. G. Jesse did the wagoning for
the concern. On one occasion Jesse
drove four-horse wagon loaded with
rabbit skins and ginseng to the city
of Philadelphia. He wrote back that
on a certain Sunday at 3 p. m. they
would see him coming down the hill
at Dick Thomson's mill, a short dis.
tance out of town. At the time ap.
pointed the boys heard his whip
crack at the top of the hill.

WHAT BECAME OF PATAGONIA.

There used to be a place called
Patagonia. It appears on our geog-
raphies now as "a drear and unin-
habitable waste, upon which herds
of wild horses and cattle Craze, that
are hunted for their flesh by a few
bands ofsavage Indians of immense
stature" I am quoting from a
school-book published in 1886, and
in common use in this country.
The same geography gives similar
Information about "the Argentine
Confederation" 1t makes the Ar
gentines roar with rage to call their
country 'the Argentine Confedera-
tion." 1t would be just as polite
and proper to call this the "Confed-
crate States of America" a bitter,
bloody war was fought to wipe that
name off the map, but our publish
ers still insist upon keeping it there.
It is not confederation; it is Ma
ton, with big "N," like ours-one
and inseparable, united we stand,
divided we fall, and all that sort of
thing-the Argentine Republic.
To call it anything else is an insult
to the patriots who fought to make
it so, and reflection upon our own
intelligence.
Several years ago Patagonia was
divided between Chill and the Ar
gentine Republic, the Ministers
from the United States to those two
countries doing the carving. The
SUBMITS of the Cordilleras were
fixed as the boundary lines. Chill
took the Strait of Magellan and the
strip along the Pacific coast between
the mountains and the sea, and the
Argentine Republic the pampas,
the archipelago of TERRA del Fuego
being divided between them. Since
the partition ranchmen have been
pushing southwark with great ra-
pidlty, and now the vast territory is
practically occupied. There are no
more wild cattle or horses there
than in Kansas, and the dreary, un-
Inhabited wastes of Patagonia have
gone into oblivion with the Great
American Desert" The remnant
of vast tribe of aborigines still oc-
cupies the interior, but the Indian
problem of the Argentine Repulic
was solved in a summary way.
There was considerable annoyance
on the frontier from bands of rowing
savages, who used to come north in
the winter-time, steal cattle, rob,
and the outposts of civilization
were not safe. General Roca, the
Sheridan Of River Plate, was sent
with a brigade of cavalry to the
frontier to prevent this sort of
thing. East and west across the
territory runs the Rio Negro, a
swift, turbid stream like the Mis-

miles or so from the mountains the
river makes turn in its course,and
leaves a narrow pathway through
which everything that enters or
leaves Patagonia by land must 60
Across this pass of fifty miles Gen
eral Roca dug a ditch twelve feet
deep and fifteen feet wide. The
Indians, to the number Of several
thousand, were north when the
work was done, raiding the settle
ments. AS spring came they turned
to 90 southwark as usual, in a long
caravan, with their stolen horses
and cattle. Roca galloped around
their rear, and drove them night
and day before him. When they
reached the ditch they became be-
wildered, for they could not cross
it. and after a few days of slaughter
the remnant that survived surre2-
dered, and were distributed through
the army as soldiers, while the wo-
men were sent into a semi-slavery
among the ranchmen they had
robbed. The dead animals and
men were buried together in the
ditch, and there has been no further
annoyance from Indians on the
frontier.
The few that remain seldom come
northward, but remain around
Punta Arenas, the only settlement
in the Strait, hunting the ostrich
and other wild game, trading the
skins for whiskey, and making
themselves as wretched as possible:
The robes they wear are made OF
the skins of the guanaco, a species
of the llama, and the breasts OF
young ostriches. There is moth
ing prettier than an ostrich robe,
but each one represents the slaugh-
ter of from sixteen to twenty young
birds, and they are getting rare and
expensive as the birds are being ex-
terminated, as our bufaloes have
been.-W William Z. Curtis, in Har-
per's Magazine for November.
